A disturbing scene emerged from a parking area near a shopping center in Yekaterinburg, where a group of schoolgirls attacked their peers. The incident was initially reported by the portal e1.ru, and another girl off camera appeared to mock the events as they unfolded.
The confrontation took place close to Veer Mall on Cosmonauts Street, and a video circulating on social networks shows three young girls assaulting another student. In the footage, one attacker sits on the victim and punches, while the other two kick the girl simultaneously, as a fourth person laughs and captures the attack on a mobile device.
From the frame left by the participants in the fight, it appears the victim managed to spray pepper near the start of the brawl and continued to hold the spray during the beating. The sequence suggests a coordinated assault, with bystanders and bystanders’ reactions visible in the background.
City police reported that the incident occurred toward the end of March, and the video only recently surfaced publicly. Authorities noted that no information had reached the police at the time, and none of the individuals involved had filed a report. The press service of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed that the information posted on social networks is registered with police department number 14.
Law enforcement agencies are actively investigating the case to establish all the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify those responsible. Local authorities emphasized the seriousness of street violence and the importance of reporting such incidents promptly to ensure swift protection of young people.
In a separate set of reports from various regions, a third-year student in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug was mentioned as having suffered a knee injury after an activity described as a hiding-and-seek game went wrong. In Kaliningrad, May coverage highlighted a separate incident where high school students allegedly assaulted a female student, accusing her of possession of an electronic cigarette.
The pattern of youth-on-youth violence across diverse cities underscores ongoing concerns about safety in public spaces and the role of social media in disseminating footage of school-age conflicts. Community leaders and law enforcement agencies continue to call for awareness, preventive programs in schools, and clear channels for reporting incidents to reduce harm and protect students in everyday environments.
